Personally, I always hated QuickBooks. I'm sure the online/cloud version is a lot different than the older desktop software, but I never found it to be easy to use and my books were always out of sync. Wave [Accounting] was the first Saas accounting software I tried, but I didn't feel like it was ready for small businesses. That's when I found Xero. For the most part, Xero does what I need it to do and most importantly it keeps my books in sync with what is actually happening in my bank and credit accounts.
By keeping our books in sync we can rely on our quarterly and EOY reports without having to go back and manually confirm any of the information.
